I have been absent from Contrebombarde for a long time: today I propose a simple improvisation on the beautiful Pentecost sequence "Veni Sancte Spiritus".
It is a harmonization of the Gregorian melody: the stanzas have the same melody two by two and the alternation of the choirs in the sequence chant is rendered by alternating the Plenum of Swell and Great.
0:00 - Incipit
0:19 - Veni, Sancte Spiritus, / et emitte cælitus / lucis tuæ radium.
0:51 - Veni, pater pauperum, / veni, dator munerum, /veni, lumen cordium.
1:22 - Consolator optime, / dulcis hospes animæ, / dulce refrigerium.
1:50 - In labore requies, / in æstu temperies, / in fletu solacium.
2:23 - O lux beatissima, / reple cordis intima / tuorum fidelium.
2:53 - Sine tuo numine, / nihil est in homine / nihil est innoxium.
3:22 - Lava quod est sordidum, / riga quod est aridum, / sana quod est saucium.
3:49 - Flecte quod est rigidum, / fove quod est frigidum, / rege quod est devium.
4:19 - Da tuis fidelibus, / in te confidentibus, / sacrum septenarium.
4:49 - Da virtutis meritum, / da salutis exitum, / da perenne gaudium. Amen
